Why is it feminine?

Attitude is feminine in French because it derives from the Latin "attitudo" (a noun formed from "aptus," meaning "fitted" or "apt"), and Latin nouns ending in "-tudo" were feminine, a gender that was preserved when the word entered French. This is part of a regular pattern where French feminine nouns often descend from Latin "-tudo" nouns like "gratitude," "altitude," and "latitude."
